Contemporary Spotlight

Lucidity and Obliteration
After a near fatal horse riding accident in October 2024, months in hospital fighting for my life and leg, I have returned to one of my first loves, abstraction, exploring themes of mortality, loss and growth. This new work is an expansion of the techniques and themes I worked on for a decade in the early 2000s. Due to an ongoing lack of mobility, the new works are smaller and considered, reflecting my unfurling interior landscape; one of new parameters, physical constrictions but ironically, mental freedom.

Australian Historical Spotlight
Albert Henry Fullwood (1863-1930)
A H Fullwood was an artist, trained in art in his native Birmingham before moving to Sydney in 1883, aged 20. He soon gained employment with the Picturesque Atlas of Australia, travelling a great deal to produce exactly the kind of illustration the publication required. He became part of the group of Sydney painters that included Roberts and Streeton, living at Sirius Cove for a time. Becoming friendly with Livingston Hopkins, he developed his etching practice. According to some sources, he signed his Bulletin cartoons Remus; others state that his friends gave him the nickname, on account of his entertaining storytelling. He was one of the founding members of the Society of Artists.
